    A legal assistant who is 34 years old was posing as a real lawyer and taking money from people who thought they were paying legal fees to their lawyer. This case comes from Zambia where James Mushanga of 2066/7 Chawawa Compound has been fully indicted on the charges of offence of an unqualified person trying to practice as real legal advocate. Additionally James Mushanga is facing two counts of getting the money from people by misleading and false pretences.

    The details of the case come from the facts that Mushanga on certain dates between the August and September of 2007 knowing he is not advocate took a writ of summons by using his signature and undertaking civil proceedings in the high courts of Lusaka.
